Subject: copy-file: ok-if-already-exists versus mustbenew
Date: Mon, 15 May 2006 18:09:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4468A7A3.8060302@student.lu.se> (raw)
I am trying to enhance my reading capabilities, but I can not understand
the difference between the arguments ok-if-already-exists and mustbenew
in the doc for `copy-file'. Can someone please explain this to me?
The only difference I see is that "never overwrite" is mentioned for
"mustbenew" - though I hope this holds for the first argument too.
However it sounds like the second argument should be about modification
times, but the doc string does not say so.
